Reconnecting with old friends

We were off to the land of legos once again...
but this time it was to meet up with some old high school friends, Eric & Penelope. We got married a few weeks apart and here we are 12 years later...running around Legoland with our kids.
Our kids had a BLAST together...towards the end of the day, Logan asked a few times, "When will we see Jake again?" and Caden woke up the next morning asking to "play again with Jake's Mommy and Jake's Daddy and Jake"...poor Lexi was left out...she's still little.
Jake's first roller coaster!!
Who knew that Legoland was such a great place to re-connect...(I know, I know, Shawn is rubbing off on me)

First Day of Second Grade

We kicked off the morning with some butterscotch pancakes
(doesn't he look about 10 ft tall in this photo?) attempted to get a couple decent pics...
And off to school we go...
Unfortunately, by the time we parked and walked the half mile to school, it was about time to line up. At least I got one shot of Lo with a best buddy from kindergarten who is now in his class again...he is very excited to have Nolan in class again!! I think I'll have Logan wear his same first day of school clothes again soon so I can recreated a few of those shots I missed :) Would that be too corny?!? He would probably want to die if I actually made him do that :)

Last Beach Day of Summer Vacation

A couple days before school started, we gathered a few families for a last chance beach day.
You may remember Parker and Braden from the Talent Show days, they are the other members of the Painted Rockers!
Morgan and Maddie put up with Caden a little better than the boys, probably because they both have younger brothers.
The Tunnel of Wonder!
Waiting for the perfect wave (nevermind that he is facing the wrong way)
Hanging about 7, it looks like
Eager for the next one!
Logan rode this one in from the second row of breakers...too far out, I'd like to add.
Oh yeah, it was a great day!....ready to hit the books!

Star Wars under the Stars

Shawn set up a screen ala white sheet in the backyard for a special backyard viewing of a family favorite, Star Wars. After a few minor technical difficulties, we let the force be with us
Waiting for it to get dark...shadow puppets passed the time
"The Dark Side"
We enjoyed some homemade ice cream too!
It was a GREAT evening, hopefully we'll have a lot more in the future!

They grow up so fast
